Looking for suggestions on a reliable provider that has uTorrent and charges in US$.
Seen some of the advertisements and/or other topics here? More than enough to go around in choice for $20
I only saw one ad with pricing in US$ and they don't have uTorrent.Quote:

you could try fastsh.it. they are in your price range and you could install utorrent through wine, although they already have deluge which i expect would be allowed.
I'm a relatively active member on TVTorrents (1.70 TB buffered, and that's after letting a friend DL a season or two of Star Trek on my account, then sending him an invite so he could do stuff on his own).
I use Fastsh.it on the VPS side of things and run µTorrent under WINE. I actually uninstalled GNOME and am now running the torrent client on Xubuntu (Xfce desktop) to improve performance a little, but GNOME + WINE + µTorrent should work just fine.
I've seen speeds in excess of 5 MB/s on uploads from my VPS, and the amount of control I get for $22.50 per month combined with the speeds is worth it to me.
I say go with fastsh.it. Best bang for your buck out there.
Normally I like solutions that give me flexibility and control. But in this case, I don't want to spend the time to learn Linux and how to set up a VPS. I just want a simple solution.Quote:

Fastsh.it has worked flawlessly for me, a non-VPS slice for the past 3 months. I haven't had any issues and recently I've switched to running uTorrent now instead of deluge/wtorrent. Works great couldn't recommend any others.
try these http://ultraseeds.org
I am personally using this and i get no problems reaching 11mB/s download and 7-8 mB/s upload
Wonder why it said "OVH Reseller" just now on your profile-page; no doubt you don't need no server from ultraseeds in that case...:whistlingQuote:

^^ the CPU RAM everything is in accordance with the 8 users.
i back on for ultraseeds.org
which plan did you get? what aer your speeds like?Quote:

TIA
I've been happily hosting with seedboxup.com. I get FTP access and uTorrent web gui with unmetered bandwidth :)
I'm paying $15/mo for their SB-20 plan.

The speed is slow.. Max dl 3 mb/sec and upload up to 700 kb/sec but most of the time its really low for ups 5 kbs/sec to 200 kb/sec
I'm asking for refund rite now from them but they want me to wait till speed problems is reviewed..
I am on plan economy 4 and never got any problems with speeds. 12 mB/s download and 6.7 mB/s upload.
Wouldn't you have to be the only person on the box to get speeds like that?Quote:

Economy 1 - 3 are on Kimsufi's Intel Celeron 1.20+ GHz. That barely can handle 1 person, so it's so obvious. But an Intel Xeon Quad 4x 2.83+ GHz can easily handle 4 people if not more.
Economy 4 has 8 users not 4.Quote:

Yeah, I wonder why you tried explaining anything coz you're just plain wrong.Quote:

Without this, not a single company on this planet would be able to provide linear-scaling for their applications and would need to rewrite some software and make custom test-beds for every single customer. Hell, even buying a copy of OSX or Windows would take weeks to complete since you had to submit all of your machine-specs.
Apparently ultraseed limit the speed for each person as my plan economy 3 was shared among 4 users on 100 mbps line, they said i should expect speed around 2.5mb/sec not above... This mean they limit the speed for each user. so it doesn't matter if the other users on the server not using it.Quote:

i got the bronze plan. i have to say its super fast. EXCELLENT customer service and super user friendly
Yay for becoming a haven for seedbox advertisers. As to OP, why would you need to be restricted to USD? There are plenty of good sites that charge in other currencies, paypal can convert it very easily.

I buy there
Couldn't you guys be even a *little* bit discreet?
